Policeman HObsOn.

For some time past Policeman John
n. Hobson and his associates of the
sanitary police have been hayinga con-
troversy with DR.. Stratton, the presi-
dent of the Board of Health, and Mr..
Hobson allowed his mind to brood I'M
necessarily over 1t. For nearly week
he has had sleepless nights, and the re-
suit was that to some persons he seemed
to he suffering from dementia.
Yesterday morning in DIR. STATIONS
Office he was incoherent in his CONVEX
sation, and the consequence was that a
brother officer thought it best that he
should be taken home and so tele-
phoned down town, and Mr.. Hobson was
oyertaken at the corner of Ninth and
Main streets, hut resisting the we'll
meant offers Of the officers he created
quite scene. Finally he was forced
to yield and was taken to his home on
Church Hill.
DR.. Brock says that the only thing
Mr.. Hobson needs is quiet and sleep.
His mind Is awry upon no other sub
iect than this one.

DIVER FOR THE DEAD.
JOE EDWARDS, WHO RECOVERED TIE
BODY OF HARRISON.
His visw as to the Disappesrance OF
Mrs. Walker-The Wrecked Cars
In the Dock.

al can stay under water q minute
and thirty-six seconds"
This is what Joe Edwards, the man
who few days ago extracted the body
of Leonidas Green Harrison from the
dock, says.
BODIES RECOVERED.
During his life Joe has gotten more
than 10C bodies out of the waters
around Richmond. He has been here
since 1851, and for eighteen years has
been in business around the wharyes.
In the winter Joe opens oysters In the
summer he dives. He knows every
foot of ground of the dock, and when
he found Harrison he had only looked
for him for about fifteen minutes. Har-
rison was lying at the bottom, and Joe
grabbed him by the back OF the neck
with hook he had and pulled him up.
MRS. WALKERS CASE.
"What do you think about the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Walker last spring! "
was asked.
81 don't know anything about it, but
III bet she never fell in the dock, said
Joe. And this opinion was endorsed
by John Camp, one of Joe's pals, who
searched for Mrs. Walker for two days.
1--WE dragged the dock from the locks
to Eighteenth street." he said, and we
would have got s. if we had found her. "

Continuing, Joe said january be-
fore last got mule and dray and a
lot of molasses belonging to Daven-
port G. Morris out of the dock, and in
August, when that train Of the York
River fell into the dock, | dived down
eighteen feet and took out the coupling
pins and put in a chain instead. so that
all four cars could be gotten out at one
time, and after the wreck was removed
we got lot of pillage. We got cook
ing range out for one thing, and that
we sold for So"
JOE AS A SWIMMER.
"How do you swim ?"
81 swim undetermined for long dis
tances, and I'll challenge anybody in
the State for swimming match. I've
swum from the point of Mayo'sisland to
the Chesapeake and Ohio wharyes,
smoking a cigar all the time"
PERSONAL.
Edwards is of medium build, not
heavy, and about thirty-eight years
old. His skin has been darkened by
the sun and exposure, but his features
are well defined, especially his nose,
which is long and straight. His coun-
tenance lacks q genial caste, but has an
honest impress. He has a strong, de-
termined look, and would be an un-
pleasant adversary in a fight.

did not seem TO make any effort TO
check up his horse. None OF the wit
nesses could say that the horse was go

who was injured could bring civil action
against the employer Of the accused for
